After a quarter of a century, Reid Anderson and Dave King feel like their statement as The Bad Plus has been made. Now booking The Bad Plus' Farewell Tour, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate one of the most influential and adventurous ensembles in modern jazz. The 2026 Farewell Tour marks the final chance for fans to experience this iconic group live. Each performance will be a career-spanning journey, honoring the music, spirit, and innovation that have defined The Bad Plus since their formation.

Since their debut in 2000, The Bad Plus have pushed the boundaries of what jazz music could and should be. From their earliest days, their indelible compositions coexisted with an unconventional array of covers from outside of the strictly-policed jazz bubble: everything from Ornette Coleman to Black Sabbath to Aphex Twin, Cole Porter to the Pixies to Nirvana. Their eclecticism was often misinterpreted as snark, when in actuality it was a means to reach for expression unachievable through other avenues – something very much in keeping with the dauntlessness of the true jazz tradition.
